"The burial ground was unearthed when Adams found two copper brooches. The grave of a Viking woman was found underneath, and further excavation led to the discovery of the graves of another woman and four men."

"Among the items found in the graves were weapons, spurs, a bridle and a drinking horn, as well as a jet bracelet and a copper alloy belt fitting."

An as yet unidentified and empty container resembling a 'kitty box' (sic) was also found. It's use has yet to be determined but it is believed to have contained the remains of the viking's household 'pets', heretofore unknown to the western world but lovingly continued in Norse folklore.

Generations have come to know and love the "Viking Kitties".

Modern minds have, for many years, pooh-poohed the existence of such creatures ...

Magnificent though they may be.
